Crying (July 8, 2007)


Crying, a girl thing? Not with me! I cry all the time. I cry when I watch a movie, when I see my plants had been eaten up by snails and caterpillars, when I lose my temper, when I receive e-mails from unexpected friends and relatives, when I am down, when my students leave after an entire school year with me, and even when I miss a friend.

But when I receive news about death, I don't cry. For me death is the culmination of life. It is the end product from the long process of struggling, enriching and making our lives worth living. It is the path to peace, a meeting with our Creator.
